Not complete, not up to date, and not readily usable.
Readily usable documentation would include complete reference information
for every function, variable, and macro bundled with emacs at every
release. It would provide some way better than string search to look for
related concepts. And it would be generously illustrated.
That kind of thing is real work. I'd be pretty happy with just complete
and up to date.
